Egyptian Parliamentary Committee Backs Vehicle Tax Exemption Bill in Principle

The Egyptian House of Representatives’ Planning and Budget Committee approved in principle a government bill concerning special treatment for vehicles during its meeting on Monday.

The proposal seeks to exempt vehicles from taxes. Details of which vehicles would qualify and the scope of the exemptions were not provided in the brief account of the meeting.

The government submitted the draft legislation to parliament, where it was taken up by the committee responsible for planning and budget matters.

Monday’s approval was in principle, rather than final passage of the law. It does not mean the proposed exemptions have entered into force.
